Song: 9 to 5, Dolly Parton A life without the film? There was a film? OK, of course there was, but Dollys song has such an across-the-board, mutli-generational appeal that it fully stands on its own. Its a song thats as fit for a show tune (the musical opens this fall in Los Angeles) as it is happy hour. Perhaps no other song marries such a merry melody with lyrics that capture the struggle to maintain a sense of ambition while stuck with a thankless gig.
